High Impact Practices in First Year Composition Courses

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

<p>This capstone project explores High Impact Practices and how they can interact with First Year Composition Pedagogy through the creation of a Course Design for English 1102. The literature review is primarily an examination of research from the field of composition studies and high impact practices in higher education, as well as several aspects of composition studies such as transfer theory and first year composition pedagogy. The course design details ways to implement high impact practices into English 1102 in the context of specific university requirements. Through this project, I was able to make the connection between the WPA Outcome Statement, and the most current understanding of HIPs, and have them both interact with FYC pedagogy. </p>
